Dr. P. Venkata Ramana

Abstract :

The total working force in our country, the Government directly or indirectly controls more than 2/3 of them and the strike by Government employees is not a new phenomenon. Tracing back the strikes by government employees from the beginning of this century, there was strike in 1903 in Madras Government press as a protest against the working of overtime without additional payment. In the year 1905, the workers of the Government of India press struck work for non-payment for Sundays and gazetted holidays. They demanded higher rate for the overtime work. In the year 1907 there was a strike in Samastipur Railway Workshop for the increase of wages. There were strikes in the railway workshops, mint and dock¬yards during the year 1919 and in the year 1920 there were strikes by railway men, municipal employees and postal employees in Bombay. Between the years 1925 and 1930 there were a number of strikes on railways against wage cutes, retrenchment and against many other acts of discrimination and oppression by the railway administration.
